I tried something like that once just to discover that the OCXO VFC port had low impedance, so my voltage divider didnĀ“t behave very well. So i put an amp op in unitary gain configuration between the two and things improved a lot. Then I changed the amp op for a DP precision part and things

Hi If you find that your EFC port is low impedance - check it for a bias voltage. It may well have a pull up resistor to an internal Vref. The intent is that you simply tune it with a resistance to ground. Bob On Jan 6, 2015, at 8:49 PM, Daniel Mendes dmend...@gmail.com wrote: I tried
